In the exhilarating FA Cup fixture held this past 20th December, Sukhothai FC faced off against SCG Muangthong United, showcasing a promising match up. Comparing the two team’s performance, it was evident that Sukhothai FC smartly capitalized on their opportunities and effectively dominated the match, even amidst a flurry of yellow cards.

The game witnessed a generous splattering of 5 goals, of which Sukhothai FC bagged 3, including a spectacular goal in overtime, clenching their victory over SCG Muangthong United, who could only manage to score twice. The punctuations of goal scoring were sporadically spread between the 25-minute mark in the first half and the nail-biting 47-minute mark in overtime. The first goal was scored by the away team, but the home team levelled the score within 10 minutes. The back-and-forth pattern continued into the second half until the home team asserted their dominance with the last goal in the second half overtime.

Analyzing set pieces, we notice a pronounced discrepancy in the number of corner kicks between the two sides. In this department, Sukhothai FC held a clear advantage, winning 10 corner kicks compared to a modest 3 by SCG Muangthong United. This suggests Sukhothai FC was more successful in exerting pressure and maintaining aggression on their opponent's half, thus increasing their scoring opportunities.

However, this aggression came at a cost, as witnessed by the unusually high count of yellow cards. In this regard, the home team outdid their counterparts, receiving 5 yellow cards, one of which came in the overtime of the second half, opposed to 4 for SCG Muangthong United. Fortunately, none of these escalated into red cards. This brings up questions regarding their defence strategy and if the aggressive playstyle was in fact, a winning one.

In conclusion, despite the rough play indicated by the high number of yellow cards, Sukhothai FC’s dominant control over set pieces, more precisely corner kicks, along with their timely, patient buildup to their goals, played a pivotal role in their victory against SCG Muangthong United.
